"Sad for fans of [Westworld] and shows like Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, the Paramount Ranch western town movie set has burned to the ground in the Woolsey Fire", he wrote. In addition to Malibu, nearby Westlake Village is also under mandatory evacuation; multiple homes have burned already in Westlake Village and Oak Park.

Derrickson said he is safe despite losing his home.

Paramount Ranch, where a number of Hollywood westerns have been filmed, is seen after it was decimated by a wildfire Friday, Nov. 9, 2018, in Agoura Hills, California.

Paramount Purchased the land, formerly part of the old Racho Las Virgenes, in 1927, and in 1953 a man named William Hertz-who'd moved to California several years earlier to become a cowboy-and his father Robert used a hunk of the land they'd recently purchased to build an old-timey western town.

HBO utilized the town set during filming of its Main Street scenes on hit series Westworld, the sci-fi western that stars Evan Rachel Wood and Anthony Hopkins. That Westworld set is the same one that's used for HBO's upcoming Deadwood movie, which is now filming. Among the films that shot at the ranch were "Caught in the Draft" with Bob Hope, "The Lake House" with Sandra Bullock, and TV shows including "The Mentalist", "Weeds" and "Quickdraw".

Westworld also films at the Melody Ranch in Santa Clarita, in Uta, h and various other locations. HBO said it did not know the extent of the damage and expressed concern for "all those affected by these disgusting fires".

California is now experiencing a rash of wildfires, with people being forced to evacuate their homes in the northern part of the state and a separate fire impacting those closer to Hollywood, as well.

Woods was not among those displaced - he tweeted that he was on the East Coast.
